Police: Bus driver tried to lure girl from home

UPLAND, Pa. (AP)  A Philadelphia-area school bus driver is charged with attempted kidnapping after police say he tried to lure a 10-year-old girl.

Authorities say 37-year-old Chester resident Gregory Cornell has been charged with attempted kidnapping. Penn-Delco School District officials say he has been suspended from his job.

Investigators say the girl told police she had been looking for her friend and was walking back to her house Sunday afternoon when a man started walking toward her. She says he began to chase her and she hid in her backyard.

Police say Cornell was later taken into custody and is being held on $150,000 bail. A telephone listing for him could not be located and it wasnt immediately clear if he had an attorney.
